The following guide will enable you to see EVERYTHING on The Pike. — First, begin with Ireland and follow the 
throng until you come out at the Galveston Flood. Second, be sure you have $21.50 in quarters when you start 
on the Pike Journey, and as much more as you can part with gracefully. If you wish to see it all, it is 
imperative that you have the $21.50, as this amount will admit you to every show on The Pike. 

The best way to avoid this expense is to get a pass. How you are going to do this is a matter of your 
own. Nobody has ever achieved it so far as we know. However, if you do not succeed in securing the pass 
the only other way of saving the money is to stay out. Just in the proportion that you stay out you save 
money. But who can resist the temptation? On every hand, and in front of every attraction are alluring and 
fascinating inducements, and before you are aware of it, you have gone down into your pocket and added one 
more quarter to the Expense Account of visiting the World's Greatest Fair. 

Of course, you know the old song, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," and doubtless you can sing it. 
Well, if that song had not been written long before The Pike was thought of, one might suppose that "Coming 
Down The Pike" had inspired it, barring, of course, the somewhat pessimistic allusion to the vileness of man. 

"From Greenland's Icy Mountains," "From India's Coral Strand," "From Afric's Sunny Fountains," 
" From Ceylon's Spicy Breezes," and "Many a Palmy Plain," they call you to deliver up your coin and see things. 

From the Sacred Zebra that is used in the worship of Seva, Vishnu, and all the category of Hindoo Gods; 
from the Hunchback of Notre Dame to the Dog Eating Irrogotes ; from the pretty girls of Fair Japan to the 
Giants of Patagonia; from the Chinese Lady with her baby feet to the husky daughters of Norway, and with 
music produced from every known instrument, from the Bamboo Fife to the Steam Caliope, the cheap fake 
magicians, as well as the greatest of ail artists in allusion, thus The Pike has every other show that has 
ever been seen on earth faded to the shadow of a ghost. 

The whole thing is a thousand strenuous lifetimes, and a suggestion of it all is given in this little book. 

You can study this, then go home and tell about what you saw on The Pike, until you believe it yourself. 

I did. 

William Lightfoot Visscher.
